Even if the shutter shock happened, it never cause any huge impact that would render my image useless. I have used the E-M1 and E-M5 extensively and did not find any issue at all. Just pin-pointing the problem on Olympus is NOT fair.

Shutter Shock has ALWAYS been around in any cameras with mechanical shutter, including ALL DSLR.

I have to respectfully disagree with you. i'm shooting more with my fantastic trusty E-M5 and a little less with my E-M1. It makes a very noticeable difference (between a sharp and totally blurred image) with some bodies. So my advice to E-M1 users would be: If you think you're somehow shaking the camera, or, if you think "wow, how could I have missed focus so badly ?!", then please set 0 second anti shock and select the single-frame with the diamond. Regrettably Olympus haven't (either can't or won't) enabled this fix in anything other than single exposure mode. Had Olympus not provided this firm-ware work around this the camera would have had to be returned. At least one in four of the images from my E-M1 are unusable (if the shutter speed is <= +-1/500) unless I enable the 0 second anti shock to use First Curtain Electronic Shutter. I do disagree with your one observation though: "some of us being overly critical of shutter shock" is, with the greatest of respect, an understatement of the extent of this problem. Hi Robin, thanks for all your helpful suggestions.
